This road is fantastic - driving up over the hills, there are a number of large impressive dams to see as well. Midway on the journey, you pass through the tiny village of Glendevon where you can stop at the Inn.

Past the high point of the Ochil Hills, the road begins to twist down towards Gleneagles, which opens out in front of you.

Journey time 20 mins, needless to say it's full of great bends and a much more enjoyable than the A9

Hi Colin, actually, you drove along this road on one of the North of Scotland runs we did a few years ago, but in reverse. Or maybe that was the run you missed out on. I can send you the route for future reference just in case you want to do that route for an organised run.

When someone gives you a pat on the back make damned sure they did not have a knife in their hand.
